Win 2008 R2 backup

I am trying to schedule a system state backup to a network share using
Windows Server Backup (Win 2008 R2). The backup runs fine when it's run
manually, but it does not run when it's scheduled. Is there something I am
overlooking or is it a problem with Win 2008?

Did you use the full UNC path \\somelocation\share\ or did you use a
mapped drive letter?

I used UNC in both cases.

Re: Win 2008 R2 backup

An scheduled backup can also be created with wbadmin and should then look
like this :
wbadmin enable
backup -addtargetiskID -schedule:09:00,18:00 -include:e:,d:\mountpoint,\\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\

Re: Win 2008 R2 backup

Hi Steve,

can u try to setup a task and use the wbadmin CLI ?
Just want to know if this is something with securtiy context. Haven't
configured this before with the GUI but is the assistent asking you for an
username which can be used for backup purpose ?

Regards
Ramazan
